<title>Z2K9</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Nothing like a little schadenfreude to close out the year. Beginning after midnight Tuesday, owners of the 30GB Zune found their devices <a href="http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2008/12/31/the-frozen-zune-phenomenon/">inexplicably frozen</a> in the kind of worldwide, near-simultaneous <a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2202262/pagenum/all/">fail</a> that could only be orchestrated by a company like Microsoft. Here&#8217;s the <a href="http://www.zune.net/en-us/support/zune30.htm">official fix</a>, which requires you to sit tight until after noon GMT on January 1.</p>

<title>Adaptive Path&apos;s New CEO</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Congratulations to my former colleagues at Adaptive Path on the <a href="http://www.adaptivepath.com/aboutus/pr/archives/070908/index.php">hire of their new CEO, Michael Meyer</a>. He seems to have just the right credentials for the job at this interesting point in AP&#8217;s evolution. I&#8217;ll forgive him for being a Harvard MBA since he also happens to be a <a href="http://www.darden.virginia.edu/batten/fellows/default.aspx?stage=ind&amp;id=41">Batten Fellow at Darden</a>.</p>

<title>Lane Becker Doesn&apos;t Disappoint</title>

<title>Fader&apos;s Foibles</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.wharton.upenn.edu/">Wharton</a> is without question a great business school, and great business schools are generally full of great minds. So I was more than a little disappointed to read <a href="http://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/article.cfm?articleid=1646">Wharton marketing professor Peter Fader&#8217;s comments about Apple&#8217;s iPhone in a recent Knowledge@Wharton interview</a>. </p>

<p>My biggest problem with Fader&#8217;s critique is that it&#8217;s painfully obvious the guy did zero research before the interview. He definitely didn&#8217;t watch <a href="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/qtv/mwsf07/">Steve Jobs&#8217;s Macworld keynote</a>, or else he wouldn&#8217;t have claimed the lack of Mac-related announcements was &#8220;a signal that they&#8217;re not going to be developing or supporting [the Mac] as much as they used to.&#8221; Or that the corporate name change to Apple Inc. was an &#8220;admission of defeat.&#8221; Or that the iPhone&#8217;s lack of a keyboard is a &#8220;really, really important&#8221; missing feature. Um, not having a plastic keyboard is the whole point of the device! Fader could have saved himself and Wharton a lot of embarrassment if he&#8217;d done his homework rather than shooting from the hip. I doubt he&#8217;d expect anything less from his students in the classroom.</p>
